Please guys, have patience. I started with Linux last July. I use a dual boot machines: one at work and one at home. I just haven't had the time to *carefully* read HOWTOs on networking stuff. But let me say what I have done: 1) I ported a program I wrote in Borland DOS C program to Linux. I use this program at work. Had to learn some peculiarities of C in Linux. Had to learn some BASH. All this takes some time. Still learning. I have recently learned something about Python. I wrote a Python script as a front end to another program I use at work. Now, the technician can run the plotting program (which runs under NT) to see the data in finalized form. If I find a good scientific plotting program that runs under Linux, I will immediately trash NT and Win98. Sorry to be still using Win98/Netscape for e-mail, but I'll get there. I promise.

Ah- I dunno but you along with about 60% of the people posting here are using M$ software................Kinda makes ya wonder- huh? Some of that number haven't mastered PPP yet. Some may still looking for the elusive Linux DUN. More and more of those dual boot boxes are showing up. We all need to start somewhere.
I don't agree with that any more. If somebody wants to get online with Linux these days it's a piece of cake. kppp has worked for everybody I know and it's just as simple as Windows DUN. However, there are many people such as myself that are stuck with MS products at work. At home I am completely and utterly MS free.
I completely agree. PPPD was the bain of my existence for a long enough time I am now bald...err...just kidding. Well, PPPD was a bitch and if didn't have people to help me. I would prolly still be running NT dual booted with Linux..but thank god I haven't had to do that in 2.5 years. :)
I pulled some hair out back when I first used minicom and edited chatscripts, etc., by hand. But I still ended up getting online.
